Underpinnings of the Mexican Revolution

Abstract: A 10 page paper discussing the issues of class and race that led to Mexico's independence from Spain. It appears that the only lasting change resulting from the revolution was that Mexico did gain its independence from Spain. Class and race divisions existed before, and they existed afterward as well. Though the criollos were able gain control of the government of the nation, they soon forgot their own frustration at being excluded from administration of the nation and failed to include any native groups in any meaningful way, setting the stage for the subsequent revolution that would occur nearly a century later. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
